Thermal grizzly carbonaut questions

[zniff]

im considering trying thermal grizzly carbonaut but unsure if it performs better than mastergel maker which im using. due to the reviews i find. i think its weird considering the thermal conductivity is at 62.5 W/mK while thermal paste is at like maximum 12.5 W/mK.

just want to read your thoughts

The paste is still better due to it getting into all the tiny pores of the IHS and transferring heat better.
Linus did some testing on these types of pads and there was some loss vs a medium grade paste but not substantial.
